When I can't get the character out of my head, and I'm in my bedroom and I start to actually act out the scenes that I've read in a script, I think okay, I really want to do this.

I wouldn't go down the route of having an assistant. I don't want to be like that. I want to be normal.

I was born in New York, so I'd love to study at New York University.

I don't mind doing the whole red carpet thing when I have to when it comes to publicizing a movie. But besides that, I don't like those kinds of things at all. Celebrity status is not really something that appeals to me.

I certainly don't feel like I am desperate to run away from a film set. I love the hustle and bustle. Everything is sort of mad right before a take, and then it just settles, and you've got these two minutes of a bit of magic. I just love that in film.

I know most of the photographers in Ireland. And if I don't want my photograph taken, they will leave me alone.

I like to get far away from myself when I'm acting.
